I was there but contributed little, not that I ever do. ;-)

Things I remember from the fest:
- lotsa old sets on display
- the K8 room full of brick and people pushing around through it
- Pirate Wars lasting all day
- someone (Tim Courtney?) wandering around in a giant minifig suit
- Tim Courtney giving a presentation on LDraw
- Tom Cook's presentation about DCC conversion
- Thomas Foot filming a mini-video using Rich's mech

There were train and castle displays that I remember very little about. I also didn't goto the outlet.

But on the whole it was a blast!
